Best for deleting old social media posts in bulk
Redact deletes your old posts, messages and comments across social platforms, and can edit them first. The free plan reaches back 30 days on most platforms, with a whole Reddit history included. It is a post-deleting tool, not a data-broker remover, which sits only on its Enterprise platform.
Who Redact is for
- Fits if you want to wipe old posts from several social accounts
- Works for people who want a one-time lifetime purchase
Who Redact is not for
- Not for you if you want data brokers asked to remove you, as that is Enterprise only
- Tight on the free plan: only the last 30 days on most platforms
- Watch out: Premium allows 2 accounts per platform and Ultimate 5
- Watch out: LinkedIn and Slack need Ultimate at $14.99 a month
Why Redact gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for money$7.99 a month on yearly billing for Premium, at the cheaper edge of data-removal tools, and lifetime plans cost $245 and $385.
- CFree plan and trialA free plan with deletion for the last 30 days on most platforms, and a whole Reddit history. Older posts need Premium.
- CFeaturesIt deletes posts fully across many platforms, with edit-first and scheduling. That is a smaller job than data-removal, because broker removal is Enterprise-only.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You connect each social account before it can delete.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone and Android apps, with no integrations or API listed.

Keep Redact, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Redact you would be making opt-out requests to hundreds of data brokers, sent again whenever they list you again. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 11 of the 15 other data removal services we grade. It costs $95.88 a year.
What you could not
- Opt-out requests to hundreds of data brokers, sent again whenever they list you again.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
What this rests on. Redact’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
